부정 긴급성이 여자 대학생의 신경성 폭식증 경향성에 미치는 영향

Abstract

This study examined whether hedonic hunger, would mediate the relationship between negative urgency and bulimia nervosa in female college students. To examine this hypothesis, participants (N=350) completed the UPPS-P impulsive behavior scale - negative urgency, hedonic hunger scale (PFS), bulimia nervosa scale (BULIT-R) through an survey, and only data from 256 were used for statistical analysis. For correlation analysis and testing model, the data collected in the study were analyzed using SPSS 26.0. The conclusions of the present study and be summarized as follows: First, in the relationship between negative urgency, hedonic hunger, and bulimia nervosa, negative urgency was positively correlated with hedonic hunger and bulimia nervosa. Also, hedonic hunger indicated a significant positive correlation to bulimia nervosa. Second, hedonic hunger mediated the relationship between negative urgency and bulimia nervosa. In other words, negative urgency had not only a direct effect on bulimia nervosa but also an indirect effect, by mediating the hedonic hunger. The results of this study can help to gain a broader understanding of the mechanisms of bulimia nervosa. In addition, these findings have clinical implications for therapeutic prevention and intervention for bulimia nervosa, and suggest that nagative urgency as well as hedonic hunger should be considered as an important risk factor in the engagement of bulimia nervosa. Limitations of the current study and recommendations for future research were discussed.
